Is it done yet
Its getting there. Im buying parts as I make money, heads are next on the list. Should be done this Spring before I graduate…
Way to go :tool: I called you 3 times before I left…
You forreal? I never got a call. All I got was the text.
P.S. i also texted you like 2 hrs ago. ASS.
Yup called 3 times and no answer. And I was sleeping when you texted me earlier.
Ok quick question.
Now since the tranny is set up for a cable speedometer, and my car is set up for an electric speedometer how hard is it to convert the tranny to use in my car?
I went over to my grandma/grandpa’s house today because my grandpa told me he had some 4th Gen Z28 Seats he had in bags in a shed. Said they were Silver and Blue, and that I could have them for free if I wanted them. He had got them at a parts swap and was going to put them in an old bronco he has, but decided against it.
I thought they were going to be so-so seats and in fair condition. Well, I was wrong, they look ALOT better than I pictured and I said hell yeah Ill take them. They should look alright with my car especially since I plan on painting the ground effects silver.
Well, without further ado, the free seats:
Thats the only defect right there. Just a small hole in the driver side bottom piece of the seat. Im going to patch it with a cheap patch kit you can buy. I couldnt pass these up for free…I really cant complain.
Ok today I took the old seats out, and put them inside of the house so they stay intact. I vaccumed really fast because I was stuck working outside tonight (My dad was wiring fog lights on his truck) so I didnt want to be out in the dark when I couldnt see. I managed to get the new ones in as it was getting dark, so I wont have pics til tomorrow after school when its light out. They dont look perfect in the car, but they dont look bad and they are a little nicer than my Black/Grey ones.
There is an adapter available for cable equipped transmissions that converts the mechanical signal into an electronic signal. Or find a tailshaft for a 1990 454SS (only year for TH400 in 454SS), or possibly a '87, '88, '89, or 1990 EFI’d TH400 (should be electronic speedo).
Tonight I got a good bit done. I finished up painting the underbody Silver, and started to install my suspension components. I removed the old Torque Arm, Panhard Bar, & Lower Control Arms and installed my UMI Performance: Adjustable Torque Arm, TH400 Crossmember, Panhard Bar, & Lower Control Arms. Everything is powdercoated black, and looks decent under the car. Tomorrow I plan to install the Front Steering Brace, tighten all the bolts down that I finger tightened, and work more on the wires in the engine bay.
^^ I’ll help!!! 
Where were you tonight coulda used your help lol. The hard shit is done, now you wanna come over tomorrow when shit ain’t that bad? Haha whatever man its cool.
looks good man…them front seats look weird tho that u got…you get any pics of them in the car yet ?
Yup I got some to post up 
I dont like the ‘Z28’ on the head rest on the drivers seat, but when I get that hole fixed Ill get that taken out and leave it or get something simple embroidered in.
they look good in there, & they seem to go with ur blue pretty damn well too !
they do seem to look good in that car. I’d have to see it in person to see all the details but for free that doesnt look bad at all! better than the porno red crap i had.
porno red ftw
sucks
Yeah they dont look bad, I think theyll go a little better once the car is running and I have time to paint the ground effects silver. 
They may not look the greatest in there compared to something else I could have went with, but for free I really couldnt pass them up. Besides, these are ALOT more comfortable than my other seats. The driver seat is also adjustable about everywhere possible lol. I have it set right now so I fit snug in the seat, its really nice. :hsugh:
Got some more done on the car tonight. Tightened up and centered everything I installed last night, and installed the UMI Front Steering Brace too. Also pulled my blown strut (Was about 4 months old) and exchanged it at Advance. My major suspension work is done besides the Subframe Connectors which Ill do once the car is able to be driven somewhere better suited to weld them on. I also am going to replace some bushings but thats minor stuff too.
I removed the Front Bumper, and got rid of the Crash Plastic. I set the Bumper back up to see how weak it would be without the crash pastic behind it, and it didnt seem to bad so Im going along with my plan and not putting it back when I reinstall the Front Bumper after I have the engine sat in.
I also sifted through a few more wires tonight, and I realized Im missing a skimatics page so that might be why I have 4 wires that I dont know wtf they are lol. I must have lost that page or not printed it out but whatever no big deal. I greased all the UMI parts tonight too.

nice, i’m gonna do the same or else just leave the sides there and cut out the middle
Alright now that the side job I was doing with my dad is out of the garage (4 Struts on a Nissan Maxima) I can put my car back in and start the work on the engine bay again.
Tonight I removed the Crash Bar from the front of the car. I dont recommend doing it, especially if it’s a daily driver like mine will be, but it’s something to take weight off of the front of my car. I know the consequences of not having a Crash Bar, but anyone thinking about doing the same thing needs to understand too.
Anyway, I deleted the Charcoal Canister tonight too, which was on the passenger side because the car was a V6. Now the line coming off the Canister, is that a fuel return line? If it is, instead of deleting it can I use that as a fuel line? My original fuel lines are in need of replacing, but this return line is in decent shape.
Ill also need to pick up battery cables out of a V8 car, because the battery in a V6 is on the drivers side and in a V8 on the passengers side. Basically I dont need the extra 2 ft. of battery cable in my engine bay, since Im relocating the battery to the passenger side for now. Eventually Ill move the battery to the hatch.
Move the battery to the hatch while you have everything out of it so it’s not that big of a hassle.
Im not really worried about it being a hassle or not lol. Im getting pretty good at removing/installing the interior lol. Im not doing it right away to save a little money, but trust me I will be moving it in the future.
Im going to try and get a little more work done tonight. Install the Brake Pedal I bought, hopefully get the old V6 Mounts out, and if I do install the new V8 Mounts. Might start deleting wires in the engine bay since I have almost all of them labels now.
